Singer-Songwriter Lance Rodriguez Unvails Emotive Debut Album 'Empath'

California-hailing singer-songwriter Lance Rodriguez offers listeners a glimpse into his emotional landscape, with debut album ‘Empath’. A nine-track collection that champions the affecting power of music, Rodriguez offers a starkly honest portrait of his life, touching on topics from love, romance and sex to vulnerability, transparency, and nostalgia.

Straight off the back of his 2022 debut EP ‘Dark Light’, ‘Empath’ further proves Rodriguez’s constant development as a songwriter, seeming to improve constantly on his earlier works. The album champions his ability to channel his emotions through songwriting, while simultaneously encouraging his audience to explore their own feelings and experiences’.

A genre-defying album, held up by Rodriguez's powerful lyricism, the tracks twist and blend varied acoustic, pop and soul stylings. His lyrical ability is best shown in lead single “11Eleven,” which examines innately human experiences, such as the fear of failure and the pursuit of your dreams. An uplifting anthem built on acoustic guitars and soft pianos, the track frames the honest and heartfelt core of the album.
